Summary
Saniya Rivers said on Threads she had “zero regrets” about jawing with Caitlin Clark after Connecticut’s 123-88 loss, writing she would not tolerate disrespect even down by 50.
At 95-67 with 28.8 seconds left in the third quarter, Rivers got in Clark’s face after a routine foul and said Clark was getting “locked up”; Clark answered by pointing to the scoreboard and shouting “Scoreboard!”
Officials issued double technical fouls, leaving Clark with seven this season and one away from an automatic one-game suspension without pay under WNBA rules.
Clark still finished with 27 points and 11 assists on 8-of-13 shooting in 27 minutes, as another on-court exchange around the Fever star quickly became a wider WNBA flashpoint.
